About This Novel
This book uses the intersection of history and reality as the basic structural framework to create the image of Hu Tiancheng, the head of Hujiapu who "has not failed for forty years". He is undoubtedly a wise man and actioner in the Central Plains. His sense of superiority over others in the village is based on his original and true understanding of "land" and "people". Based on his planned "repair" of "fathers and fellow villagers", his courage to successfully control the villagers under his control is consistent with his previous experience. The far-sighted management of the "human field" is closely connected; he spent forty years to build a huge network of relationships from the township to the county, from the provincial capital to the capital, which ensured his miraculous power to control the wind and rain, and the brilliance of "only success and no failure". The author reflects on Hu Tiancheng the ups and downs of Chinese society in the past forty years. Through the ups and downs and struggles of county magistrate Hu Guoqing in today's officialdom, the author vividly presents to readers the reality of warmth and cruelty, cooperation and competition, authenticity and alienation, emotions and interests, etc. Through the characters' smoke-free fights in officialdom and love circles, the work penetrates the spiritual core of this ancient land with the coldness of realism, and has a strong realistic impact. Its profound critical strength is enough to shock the world.
